=============================
1. Introduction
=============================

The English version of WordPerfect Office Suite 2000
(WPO2K) SP4 is now available from Corel Customer
Service. For their locations, please see the list at

http://www.corel.com/support/reach/index.htm

An overview of the upgrade is available at

http://www.corel.com/support/wordperfect/sp4.htm

and the release notes at

http://www.corel.com/support/wordperfect/sp4_notes.htm

Please note that this Service Pack involves a complete
re-install of your software, and so is available only on CD.


=============================
2. Process
=============================

1. If you have Paradox Runtime only, then please do nothing.
This Service Pack does not concern you.

2. At this time there are no individual patches or Service
Packs for any products in the WPO2K package. Service Packs
are for the whole Suite, and will simply not upgrade parts
that are not present.

3. Currently-installed levels. Service Pack 4 includes all
parts of packs 1, 2, & 3. If you have regressed some part
of a previous Service Pack, it is conceivable that you might
want to try this again. If so, be sure to back up your entire
installation of WordPerfect Suite 2000.

4. Please read all of the release notes (below in section 4)
very carefully before installing this service patch. You will
have to uninstall your previous copy of WordPerfect Office
2000 using the Corel uninstall found in the WordPerfect Office
2000 setup and notes start menu. You will also have to restart
your system before installing Service Pack 4

5. If you have Paradox 9 installed WITHOUT WordPerfect Office
2000 Suite (WPO2K), but own WPO2K, then you should be able
to install SP4 with no problems.

Please note that the above is based on _current_ knowledge.
While it is unlikely that any points here will "go away",
there may be extra items to add. If such come to light, we
will attempt to codify them and add them here.

Corel has indicated publicly that once WPO2K SP4 is released
work will resume on production of version 10.

=============================
3. Examples ...
=============================

This section will be filled with anecdotal reports of
experiences that may seem relevant to users. Please do not
take them as examples of the "Ultimate Truth", but of ways
in which other users have dealt with matters.

When you install Service Pack 4, the authors would be
pleased to hear of any experiences - good and bad - that
you may have, for inclusion here. Anonymity on request is
guaranteed.

=============================
4. Release Notes
=============================

Installation Instructions for the Windows® Terminal Server
Platform.

Terminal Server Installation for Windows NT® 4

After selecting WordPerfect Office 2000 Setup from the
Autorun screen in Windows Terminal Server, you will be
prompted to select "Install" mode. The install window may
appear behind the Autorun screen. The task bar will have an
option called "Corel Setup"—select this item and the window
will appear and prompt you for your selection. When Installing
WordPerfect Office 2000 to a system that supports Windows
Terminal Server, follow these steps:

NOTE: You must upgrade Windows NT 4 Terminal Server to Service
Pack 5 prior to installing WordPerfect Office 2000. If you
try to install Digital Signatures (Microsoft® Internet
Explorer 5) on a Terminal Server machine without Service Pack
5 installed, the operating system may become unstable or
experience a system error.

To install WordPerfect Office 2000 on a Windows Terminal
Server, the administrator must perform a stand-alone, full
installation of WordPerfect Office 2000 on the server.

To install WordPerfect on Windows NT Terminal Server Edition:

* Log in as "Administrator"
* Perform installation of choice
* The following key will be added to the server's registry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\
    CurrentVersion\TerminalServer\Compatibility\
    Applications\wpwin9] (DWORD) Flags = 0x00000408
* If "Terminal Server" is selected and if all the required
  components were not installed, Install-As-You-Go will prompt
  the user to contact their local Administrator for help
  installing the component.
* To create a new profile based on this profile for a user
  who does not already have a central or local profile:
* Log in to a workstation as a generic user (one that does
  not have Administrator rights in the domain). Set up your
  desktop and change the settings to your liking.
  Log out of the workstation.
* Log back into the workstation as someone who has
  Administrator rights to the local computer, as well as in
  the domain. Select Control Panel | System and click the
  "User Profiles" tab. Select the user profile that you
  created in the previous step.
* Click "Copy To". A dialog box will appear, allowing you to
  specify where the profile is to be copied. It will also
  allow you to specify who is Permitted to Use this profile.
  To create the Default User Profile (base profile), permit
  the group "Everyone" to use the profile. Next, in the blank
  box where it says "Copy To:", specify the server name and
  the share name, as well as the name of the profile you
  want to copy to.
* Copy this profile to c:\wtsrv\profiles\default user share.
* In the "Permitted to Use" section, specify "Everyone".

Note: Log on as Administrator. In the control panel, open the
Borland Database Engine ( BDE ) administrator. Click the
Configuration tab and select "System|INIT". Change the local
share value to "True".

General
A number of changes have been made to WordPerfect 9 to
support the Windows Terminal Server and Citrix® Metaframe™
software. Most notably, the directory structure for the
applications has changed. Many Accessibility related
enhancements have also been made.

Installation

Templates:
If you have downloaded WordPerfect templates from the
OfficeCommunity.com Web site, you will need to save them to
a temporary location before removing and reinstalling
WordPerfect 9. If you have created any custom templates, you
will also need to move them over to this new temporary
location. Once Service Pack 4 is installed, place these
Projects & Templates in the following directory:

\Windows\Profile\UserName\Application Data\
Corel\PerfectExpert\9\Custom WP Templates

(where username is your name).

Macros:
Macros are now saved to

\Windows\Profile\UserName\Application Data\
Corel\PerfectScript\9\WordPerfect

(where "UserName" is your name).

Labels:
Labels are now stored in

\Windows\Profile\UserName\Application Data\
Corel\WordPerfect\9\labels

(where "UserName" is your name).

Accessibility Enhancements & Workarounds
For additional Accessibility related enhancements &
workarounds, please see the product specific Release Notes
under

Start>Programs>WordPerfect Office 2000>
Setup and Notes>Release Notes.

For more information on Accessibility and WordPerfect 9,
please read the "Using Accessibility Features" topic in Help.
Graphics & Objects selection: Improvements have been made to
the way graphics, shapes, textboxes, charts and TextArt
objects are selected and navigated to using the keyboard.

Using CTRL+[ (left bracket) for "Previous Box" and CTRL+]
(right bracket) for "Next Box" allows you to select and
navigate between these objects. The "Tab" key also allows
you to navigate. SHIFT+F10 brings up the context menu for
the selected graphic.

Customize your keyboard:
WordPerfect allows you to customize your keyboard for easy
and quick access to many features in WordPerfect. Features
available through toolbar/property bar icons can either be
accessed through the menu or by customizing your keyboard.
Watermarks, Outline Tools and Drop Caps features have now
been added to the customized keyboard list.

To access the list, go to

Tools>Settings>Customize>Keyboard>Edit.

WordPerfect 9 Equations Editor:
Overall enhancements were made. You can now use CTRL+TAB to
access the tab pages.

Reference Center:
You can view the PDF files from x:\Corel\Shared\Refcentr
where "x" is the drive where you have installed WordPerfect
Office 2000. You can also find the PDF manuals and the Corel
Reference Center (REFCNTR.EXE) in the folder
COREL\SHARED\REFCNTR on the WordPerfect Office 2000 CD-ROM.
QuickFonts, QuickFormat, and Prompt-As-You-Go are not
accessible via the keyboard. However, you can still format
your document through existing formatting features.

Overall, several enhancements were made to the display of
objects and UI elements in High Contrast Black. Some toolbar
icons may not be as visible in High Contrast Black mode. Also,
Equations generated by the Equations Editor are not presently
visible in High Contrast Black.

Screen Reader
You can view the JAWS® for Windows® 3.5 Help file included
with the JAWS software to find additional topics on JAWS and
WordPerfect 9.
For greater compatibility with the JAWS screen reader software,
use the following key combination upon launching WordPerfect:

CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+I.

The state of some check boxes, radio buttons, colors and error
messages might not be read by the screen reader. Improvements
are planned in the upcoming release of JAWS version 3.7.
The JAWS "Find" keystroke <CTRL + INSERT + F> and JAWS
"Find Next" keystroke <INSERT + F3> are not presently
available; however, the same functionality exists within
WordPerfect's Edit>Find & Replace (Keyboard Shortcut CTRL+F).

Quattro® Pro 9

In order to accommodate Windows Terminal Server and Windows
2000, the User Interface configuration files (.cfg) have been
moved from:

* Modifying display and navigational features
* Adding and optimizing text
* Working with graphics
* Controlling multimedia effects on slides
* Printing and publishing slide shows
* Answers to Some Frequently Asked Questions
* Publish to PDF does not support bitmaps with transparent
backgrounds. Therefore, a white background will be added to
the image when published
* If you wish to retain the Data chart information when
importing Microsoft® PowerPoint® files, you will need to
change the .ini file setting as follows:

* Close Corel Presentations
* Using Windows Explorer, navigate to your
Corel\WordPerfect Office 2000\Programs\Convert directory.
If you chose a typical install, it will be located in
C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office 2000\Programs\Convert
* Select the appropriate .ini file for the required Microsoft
PowerPoint filter and select File | Open
* Insert a ";" in front of "Import content=Graphics" and
delete the ";" from "ImportContent=Chart Data", see below:
* Select File | Save
* Select File | Close
* Launch Corel Presentations and import your PowerPoint file.
Your data chart should now come in as a data chart; not
graphics. The charts will look slightly different from the
Graphic version.

Here is a list of the available .ini files and the filters
to which they belong:
            ipp22.ini = PowerPoint 2
            ipp32.ini = PowerPoint 3
            ipp42.ini = PowerPoint 4

but will launch according to the preference selected.

Answers to Some Frequently Asked Questions
* To use Hot Synch capabilities between CorelCENTRAL and Palm
Pilot™ software in a Windows 2000 environment, the administrator
must install the Pilot software for each user profile. Each
restricted user should have a separate set of Palm Pilot
registry keys
* Quick Alarms will not launch automatically at startup under
a restricted user profile in Windows 2000. Open CorelCENTRAL
Alarms from the Start menu
* Due to Windows Terminal Server install limitations, a .wav
sound file will not initiate within CorelCENTRAL Alarms
* Due to the naming rules in Netware, CorelCENTRAL should only
be installed to a directory that conforms to the 8.3 DOS naming
conventions. Install patch MIXMOD6.EXE for the NetWare 4.11
to the server to fix naming convention problems
